GRATIFYING CONDITION OF MERCANTILE TRADE.
II never saw collections better and more
prompt than they have been during the past four
or five weeks" said Merdan-street merchant
the other day. This is not usually the case,
especially among the country dealers who handle
dry goods and clothing. when we have such
warm fall we had this year. I know that
many of our customers who laid in large stocks
of fannels and other cold weather goods
still carrying them their shelves, the farmers
no doubt preferring not to purchase until forced
to. However. they have probably had a large
sale OF hghter-weighs materials this year, and
will have to carry over very little for next
son. The merchants throughout the State and
in the territory tributary to Indianapolis are in
better financial standing than they have been
for years, and this of itself is guaranty that
collections will remain good and that the whole
sale trade of the coming spring will not be de-
void of activity"
